Tell me, you (A)whom my soul loves,
Where do you (B)pasture your flock,
Where do you have it (C)lie down at noon?
For why should I be like one who [a]veils herself
Beside the flocks of your (D)companions?”

Solomon, the Lover, Speaks

“If you yourself do not know,
(E)Most beautiful among women,
Go out on the trail of the flock,
And pasture your young goats
By the tents of the shepherds.

  1. Song of Solomon 1:7 Some ancient versions wanders

Tell me, you whom I love with all my heart—
        where do you pasture your flock,
        where do you rest them at noon?—
            so I don’t wander around with the flocks of your companions.

[Man]

    most beautiful of women,
        then follow the tracks of the herds
            and graze your little goats
            by the tents of the shepherds.
